5. **Fix mDNS problems**

* If you run ```ping <hostname>.local``` and get: ```Ping request could not find host <hostname>.local. Please check the name and try again.``` then mDNS is not working on Windows. Try installing [Bonjour](https://support.apple.com/en-us/106380) then restart your computer and try to re-connect.
